Big Research Questions about the Human Condition

Know about the book -

Big Research Questions about the Human Condition is written by Arne Jarrick and published by Anthem Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1785275690 (ISBN 10) and 9781785275692 (ISBN 13).

The book is a manifesto-like essay aiming to redress some globally present drawbacks characterizing current research in the humanities: 1. Fragmentation and thematic volatility; 2. A reluctance to acknowledge that humanities research is a truth seeking enterprise as all scientific research; 3. A certain unwillingness (or inability) to ask clear questions and to provide distinct answers to these questions. The book consists of three parts: A. Introduction, where the problem and the purpose of the book is presented; B. six chapters, each presenting a certain topic that I suggest that humanist scholars gather around with sustained efforts; C. Conclusion with some words of how to proceed and a section discussing what the humanities or should and are not or should not be.
